Biopic, Maud Lewis, Complex Relationships, Art

Wow. What an amazing film! I first learned about Maud Lewis when I went to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in 2013 and saw her house and artwork on display. She is a true treasure and her story is even more heartwarming. I love films that show the story, and Aisling Walsh definitely does that. I was truly surprised that this film flew under the radar--both Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke should have been nominated for more awards for their performances. Fantastic acting.
